.SH NAME
docker-attach \- Attach to a running container
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B docker attach
\fB--no-stdin\fR[=\fIfalse\fR] 
\fB--sig-proxy\fR[=\fItrue\fR] 
container
.SH DESCRIPTION
If you \fBdocker run\fR a container in detached mode (\fB-d\fR), you can reattach to the detached container with \fBdocker attach\fR using the container's ID or name.
.sp
You can detach from the container again (and leave it running) with CTRL-c (for a quiet exit) or CTRL-\ to get a stacktrace of the Docker client when it quits. When you detach from the container the exit code will be returned to the client.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.TP
.B --no-stdin=\fItrue\fR|\fIfalse\fR: 
When set to true, do not attach to stdin. The default is \fIfalse\fR.
.TP
.B --sig-proxy=\fItrue\fR|\fIfalse\fR: 
When set to true, proxify all received signal to the process (even in non-tty mode). The default is \fItrue\fR.
.sp
.SH EXAMPLES
.sp
.PP

# sudo docker attach $ID
